Genes affected
BRCA1 (HGNC:1100): (BRCA1 DNA repair associated) This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

The BRCA2 c.2662C>T (p.His888Tyr) variant has been reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 34981296 (2022), 31159747 (2019), 29088781 (2017), 28477318 (2017), 27616075 (2016), 18176857 (2008), 12938098 (2003)). This variant has also been identified in individuals with breast cancer as well as reportedly healthy individuals in a large-scale breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA1)). A published functional study has reported that this variant does not have a deleterious effect on BRCA1 protein function (PMID: 32546644 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000035 (4/113480 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The p.H888Y variant (also known as c.2662C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2662. The histidine at codon 888 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple ethnically diverse patients/families with suspected hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (Meyer P et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Sep; 22(3):259; Miramar MD et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2008 Nov; 112(2):353-8; Alvarez C et al. Oncotarget. 2017 Sep;8:74233-74243; Gabald&oacute; Barrios X et al. Fam Cancer. 2017 10;16:477-489; Tsaousis GN et al. BMC Cancer. 2019 Jun;19:535). In one study, this variant was reported in 4/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 3/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA1 c.2662C>T (p.His888Tyr) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. A recent report from the CAGI5 (fifth Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation) challenge has classified this variant as Class 2 (Likely not pathogenic) in a prediction protocol that includes assessment of the impact of this variant on splicing and protein function using four sets of predictors (Padilla_2019). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251050 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2662C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer or colorectal cancer (example, Judkins 2005, Meyer 2003, Miramar 2008, Kraus 2016, Alvarez 2017, Gabaldo 2017, Tsaousis_2019, Ferrer-Avargues_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (UMD database - BRCA2 c.5073dup, p.Trp1692MetfsX3; Ferrer-Avargues_2021 - MSH6 c.3996_4000dup, p.Arg1334HisfsTer), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function in a homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) complementation assay (example, Bouwman_2020). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (Benign/Likely Benign, n=2; VUS, n=8). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
